A low intensity 20 TeV proton beam extracted from the SSC by crystal channeling has been proposed for use in producing B hadrons in a fixed target configuration. This option for doing B physics offers a relatively inexpensive way of obtaining large numbers of reconstructable B decays for the study of rare B decays and CP violation in the B system. This paper reports on the progress during and since the 1990 Snowmass meeting in developing the techniques for the crystal extraction and discusses special advantages that an SSC fixed target spectrometer may have relative to other experimental methods for studying B decays.
